Well now the two former reality stars are not getting along! So sad. In response to Farrah's criticisms, Bethenny dismisses her as just needing attention. Takes one to know one!

"[I like to] have a conversation with someone that I think will show a different side [of them], and a different conversation, and reflect human behavior, but a lot of those people are controversial for a reason, and they like to be controversial," Bethennytold Wetpaint about her experiences dealing with Farrah.

"So the minute that they leave they start leaking press items to make it live longer, because that's what their brand is, being controversial and continuing to do that," Bethenny added. "It's really the people that are known for being controversial, there's a reason for it, and they leave and they kind of plant seeds so they will grow to make it 15 or 16 minutes."

I think Bethenny actually wrote the manual of using controversy to much over-extend one's 15 minutes of fame. In fact exempting a sex tape Farrah is practically her protege!

Bethenny admits she isn't bothered by Farrah's "attacks" because it works both ways! Meaning she gets some publicity out of the deal as well! "It's OK. I get something out of it, I guess they get something out of it. It is what it is."

Well, at least Bethenny is looking at the bright side! So that's something, right?
